5800: Not all mp3s show ID3 tags

1 replies · 4,332 views · Started 24 February 2010

Hi,

I copied a bunch of mp3 files to my 5800 V.40 . These were mostly generated using Streamripper and winamp. Winamp, StreamMonkey and others have no trouble displaying the ID3 tags of the files. The Nokia music player software does. In most cases it just shows the name of the file rather than the tags.

I installed the Ovi Music Player but I don't think I'll use it as it's a bit primitive compared to other options.

Does anyone have a workaround or other suggestion?

Thanks,

Sander

Yesterday I ripped a few CDs into .wma format using the Ovi player. Not even *those* files are shown with proper tags in the music player. That's just crazy 😊
